Police Say Woman Called Ex 1,000 Times in 3 Months

A Houston woman has been charged with felony stalking after being accused by police of calling her ex-boyfriend more than 1,000 times and sending him more than 700 emails within a three month period.

Police say Toni Jo Silvey also used a tire iron and later a sword to shatter several of the windows of her ex-boyfriend's Houston home.

The Houston Chronicle reports she is accused of egging his house several times and posting pictures of herself bragging about it on her Facebook page.

Police say the 49-year-old woman also created an Internet persona called "woundedpoeticsoul" and started a blog detailing the end of her relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

Court records show Silvey remained jailed late Wednesday after being arrested on Tuesday.

Silvey's attorney declined comment.
